Erasmus is to announce the squad that will be utilized during the June tests. The initial squad will comprise of39 players -to be reduced to 28 players for the remainder of the June test series.
There will obviously be some certainties - but there will also be surprises and there obviously also be some surprises. Erasmus is a person without rubbish like Meyer and Coetzee used, He will base his selections on performance and not thin like reputation and will not select players without ball skills.
So lets see whether our members can come up with their own list of 40 players who should be in the squad. We van then see who is closest to the mark in this case.
My squad would be the following:-
Full Backes
Gelant, Le Roux
Wings
Mapimpi, Nkosi, Tambwe, Crombrinck
Centers
De Allende, Esterhuizen, Kriel, Am, Dyantyi
Flyhalfs
Du Preez, Pollard, Jantjies
Scrummies
De Klerk, Groom. Schreusder
No 8
Vermeulen, Du Preez
Flanks
Du Preez, Mostert, Kolisi. Smith, Smit
Locks
Du Toit, Botha, Snyman, Erasmus
Props
Mtawarira, Kitshoff, Nche
Louw, Du Toit, Nyakane
Hookers
Van der Merwe, Du Plessis, Strauss/Marutlule
The above are not necessarily my picks - it is rather the picks that I think will be made by Erasmus
